Moto X

Just around last week, we saw a new and yet previously unannounced Motorola device make an appearance at benchmarking software Geekbench. This time, we see potentially the same device appear now at the information databases of another popular benchmarking software GFXBench. With the launch of the new Moto X impending, it looks like information about the new potential flagship device is solidifying.

While the recently launched Digital Tattoos were really cool (and we’d like to have one, really), if you don’t have a Motorola Moto X, then it’s practically useless. But the makers of the semi-permanent tattoo, VivaLnk, have said that they are now looking into other ways that it can be used, other than just to unlock smartphones. They are set to release a new set of digital tattoos that can be reprogrammed for other functions.

It's quite late into the game, at least compared to its other variants, but at least AT&T and Motorola have now picked up the slack. Android 4.4.4 is now rolling out to Moto X users under the carrier's coverage and it brings along with it some minor improvements to built-in apps on the smartphone.

The rumors about the new Moto X, the possible new flagship phone of Motorola, have been abundant. Most pertinent has been the code name Moto X+1, which the company has not fully confirmed nor denied. But the most recent information has to do with a late September launch, as well as some new benchmark figures that may or may not confirm some of the new phone’s internals.

Verizon’s Moto X devices are finally getting the Android 4.4.4 treatment as the version has finally been approved to roll out via OTA update. Motorola’s current flagship device did not have to wait long to get the latest Android version, and it’s not that big a jump from 4.4.3, containing mostly security updates and a few tweaks from Motorola.

We’ve been waiting a while now for the device that Motorola has called the Moto X+1, possibly the new flagship phone of the Lenovo-owned company after the Moto X. We still don’t know what the “+1” means, but there have been a number of leaks and information showing us what the phone might look like, and this specific leak is probably the closest we’ve gotten to the real thing so far.

You are probably tired of reading about it, but there might still be some souls out there waiting for the perfect time to grab a Moto X. Well, Motorola is giving those another chance with yet another seasonal discount promo, just in time for school, at least for some in the US.

We told you a few weeks ago about the digital tattoo that can soon be used to unlock the Moto X through NFC sticker technology. Now the wait is over as Motorola announced that they, together with Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects group and VivaLnk Inc. are officially launching the Digital Tattoo but of course, only the privileged Moto X users can enjoy this state-of-the-art method of bypassing your phone’s security code.

There have been rumors that Motorola is working on putting out a phablet, but those have not been substantiated – until now. A couple of new videos have been making its rounds in tech circles showing a device that is apparently larger than a Nexus 5 and seems to be running – at least from visual checks – some sort of version of Android L.

Yes, Motorola is doing it again. For the n-th time now, the Moto X is getting a limited time discount, this time exclusive to a wireless provider. Until July 16 only, Buyers can get a 16 GB Moto X from Net10 Wireless, without a contract, for only $299.99.
